Health dept defends nurse in Langkawi Hospital video

A police report was lodged against a man who recorded a video of him complaining to a nurse.

LANGKAWI: The Kedah Health Department has come to the defence of a nurse at Langkawi Hospital, after video taken by a man who accused the hospital of bad service went viral.

The department’s director Dr Norhizan Ismail said the video, taken by a man who came with his pregnant wife to the hospital, showed the medical personnel handled the incident professionally.

“From the initial inspection results, I understand, it was not an emergency case (and did not require immediate action by a specialist doctor),” he said.

The man in the video is seen scolding the nurse after he was told to wait until the specialist on duty finished handling the case of another pregnant woman who required immediate surgery.

Norhizan said a police report was lodged against the man and the Langkawi Hospital was preparing a detailed report on the case.
